Horse on the World

Chapter 440 Struggling
Li Qing had been gone for a long time, and the two children were carried to the next room by the maid. The candles were extinguished, and only the cold moonlight shone through the window, reflecting Qingcheng's fair face. Thin wooden boards, clenched fists under the quilt, her heart was like a stormy sea, attacking her fragile heart defense wave after wave.

She, who was already moved by Yuan Fang, seemed to be shattered by Li Qing's gentle words today. They were not sweet words, but they inadvertently touched the weakest part of her heart. She was strong, But she is also a woman!

The cries of two children came from the next door, followed by the soft coaxing of the palace maid, Qingcheng pulled up the quilt suddenly, and covered herself tightly.There was darkness in front of his eyes, but in the darkness, there seemed to be a clear face, which belonged to the emperor's brother.

"I can abandon the throne, so can't you abandon your husband?" She covered her ears desperately, but the deep, slightly hoarse voice still penetrated into her ears clearly.

In a blur before his eyes, Tian Qi's face gradually faded away, and Li Qing's face slowly emerged, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a smile, "If you lose to me today, then you will lose to me all your life, you are mine Woman!" The first sentence Li Qing uttered when he knocked himself over and fell to the ground on the wedding night in the bridal chamber.

The two faces appeared one after the other, faster and faster, Qingcheng felt dizzy, dizzy, and dizzy, "Don't force me!" She screamed, the maids waiting outside the house were shocked, rushed in the door, and the lights came on Get up, all the phantoms disappeared without a trace, "Your Highness, what's the matter with you?"

An old nanny gently lifted the quilt, Qingcheng burst into tears, pinched her palm tightly with her fingers, "I'm fine, you all get out!"

"But….."

"Get out!" Qingcheng shouted sharply.

Silence was restored in the room, the lights were turned off, Qingcheng was in the moonlight, raised his hands, palms, where the fingertips were pinched, a drop of bright red blood oozed out, under the pale moonlight, it was so eye-catching.

"You are the blood of the royal family, Qingqing, remember, you are the princess of Dachu first, then you are Qingcheng, and then you are Li Qing's wife and the mistress of Dingzhou!" Tian Qi's words were like a heavy hammer, Beating her heart one by one, covering her heart, Qingcheng curled up tightly in the quilt.He twitched violently.

The hall of the waiting mansion was brightly lit. Li Qing was sitting on top of the chief with a smile on his face. On both sides, Shang Haibo, Lu Yiming, and Fu Zhengqing who had just been promoted to the prefect of Luzhou accompanied him, and Tang Hu also sat on the side. Iron Leopard was busy pouring wine into the glasses of the adults.Although it's getting late, today's day is not as normal, and the interest of several people is still very high. It is not only to celebrate Li Qing's new heir, but at the same time, they also have too many things to report to Li Qing regarding the current situation in the Central Plains .

"The commander-in-chief is happy to have a beautiful son and daughter. I wonder if the commander-in-chief has given him a name?" Shang Haibo laughed.When Jiyue had a son, Li Qing named him Anmin on the spot.

Only then did Li Qing come to his senses. Previously he was only talking to Qingcheng, but he forgot to name the child. He smiled, lingered in his mind for a while, and said: "Well, let's call it Jishi, Jishi Anmin, and it's easy to call it. My daughter should be called Xinyi, hahaha!"

Shang Haibo chewed in his head for a moment, his face showing joy, um, the name of the commander is good, "Jishi Anmin, although Anmin is the eldest son, but he is ranked after the first son, good, very good, it seems that the commander-in-chief He is still quite sober." As if he had taken a reassurance, Shang Haibo felt refreshed from the inside out, "The commander-in-chief is happy to have a son-in-law, this is our great joy in Dingzhou, commander-in-chief, this celebration must not be sloppy , should be arranged carefully and spread throughout Dingzhou's subordinate regions."

Li Qing frowned, "Nowadays the Northern War is raging, and seeing that we are also going to fight in the whole prefecture, everything is more important than war, it should be a celebration, but the scale should not be too large, it should only be limited to a small area Within a short time, it is enough to set up some banquets in the waiting mansion?"

Shang Haibo said sternly: "Commander, this matter must not be careless. No matter how fierce the battle ahead is, this matter cannot be kept simple. This is the commander's son, he is the future successor of the commander, and the young master of Dingzhou. How can you be free?" Li Qing turned the wine glass in his hand, knowing that Shang Haibo was actually saying that the [-]-day banquet of the eldest son Anmin was a state-wide celebration, and the entire city of Dingzhou participated in this grand event. The celebration of helping the world must not be worse than that scale.

There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Old Shang, the Second Young Master was born just now, the celebration must wait until the hundredth day, we have a lot of time to discuss arrangements Why do you need to rush this matter? The commander just returned from the front line today, let's ask the commander to tell us about the war, shall we?"

Shang Haibo nodded, "That's fine, but we have to plan this matter as soon as possible, so as not to be in a hurry!"

Lu Yiming looked at Shang Haibo on the opposite side, a strange look flashed in his eyes, he almost wondered if the old man had lost his head, obviously the commander also showed displeasure, and rushed to get up, to help the world and the people, to help the world and the people , What can the name be at the top of the list?Didn't you understand the meaning of the handsome man? He called it fluently, just fluently!
Li Qing put down his wine glass, and said, "The major event in Luzhou has been decided. Once the reorganization of the soldiers in Luzhou is completed, the Changsheng Division will continue to march north. Mr. Shang, how are you preparing for the deployment of hundreds of grassroots officers from Dingzhou? How is it?"

"Don't worry, Commander. After receiving the command from Commander-in-Chief, I have already started preparations. At present, these people have assembled in Dingzhou, of which 400 are transferred from the Naruto training camp, and the other [-] are transferred from various divisions." The school captains with rich combat experience, these [-] people entered the Luzhou army as the backbone, and set up a shelf. I believe that within a year, a [-] to [-] soldiers with considerable combat effectiveness can be established in Luzhou. Troops. Even if they are not as good as other combat divisions in Dingzhou, they are only short of training on the battlefield." Shang Haibo said.

Li Qing nodded in satisfaction. In these matters, Shang Haibo always wanted to be ahead of the crowd, so he turned to look at Fu Zhengqing, "Master Fu!"

"Master!" Fu Zhengqing turned sideways, facing Li Qing.

"Although Luzhou's army is weak, it is an out-and-out rich state. Of course, its wealth now is the wealth of a small number of people. Most of the people are still very poor. Although there are a lot of fertile land , but the whole thing is a hopeful harvest, after you go here, you must pay special attention to this point."

"Yes!"

"Land policy is the core policy of Dingzhou's New Deal. This time the inventory of Luzhou City surprised me. Half of the more than [-] million mu of land is controlled by dozens of dignitaries in the district. It is really unbelievable. Thinking about it , the situation is similar. After you go, clear the land and divide the land into households. This matter should not be careless. It is necessary to allow the people to own the land without intensifying conflicts. Another part of normal mergers should be treated differently, and you can consider buying them at an appropriate price." Li Qingdao.

"Your subordinate must keep in mind the Commander-in-Chief's orders, and handle these matters properly!"

"Well, Luzhou treasury, I have left enough funds for you. After you go, you must build water conservancy as soon as possible to ensure the autumn harvest. I hope that Luzhou can become the logistics base of Changsheng Division as soon as possible to support Changsheng Division Operational requirements in the North."

"Commander, Chang Sheng Division's Northern Expedition must be done at an appropriate pace. It must not only ensure that the Lu family is cleaned up, but also leave enough time for our arrangements in the Shun and Shenzhou states." Shang Haibo reminded Li Qingdao.

"I have already told Tian Feng about this matter. Tian Feng is a seasoned person, how to control this speed, I think he should be able to grasp it well!" Li Qing said. "Mr. Shang, please pay more attention to the Northern Expedition in the future. My next goal is Quanzhou. After resting in Dingzhou for a few days, I will leave for Shanfeng. The battle of Quanzhou must not be missed. This is our An important step in forging the blade of our axe."

"Tian Feng has rich experience and can stand alone. I am assured of this, but the commander-in-chief, handing over the most elite troops in Dingzhou to a newcomer, will it cause a backlash among the officers of the Changsheng Division? After all , General Jiang..." Shang Haibo hesitated a little.

Li Qing raised his hand and interrupted Shang Haibo's words, "Mr. Shang, you don't have to be suspicious when you hire people, and you don't need to be suspicious when you hire someone. Jiang Kui is only a general, and it's hard to become a handsome one. The Northern Expedition needs a general who can stand alone. Although Jiang Kui is My beloved general, but he still can't bear this responsibility. As for you saying that some people will not be convinced, hmph, if that one is not convinced, you will transfer that one out of the Changsheng Division!" Li Qing's voice was stern, "The military situation called Mingyan Watch out for me, sir, I will never allow discordant voices to appear among the Changsheng Division during the Northern Expedition!"

"I understand, Commander!" Shang Haibo said in awe-inspiring manner. Li Qing rarely spoke to him in this tone. With an unquestionable tone, Shang Haibo's heart suddenly moved, something seemed to flash through his mind, and when he wanted to catch it again, it disappeared without a trace.

"Master Lu, you are in charge of the civil affairs of Dingzhou and its subordinate states, and you have a heavy responsibility. Whether the frontline soldiers can concentrate on anything else depends on you."

Lu Yiming stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Commander, the soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles, and we are behind, we must take care of everything so that the soldiers won't be distracted."

Li Qing sighed for a long time, "In the final analysis, fighting a war is about the economy. We have only recuperated in Dingzhou for a year, and our foundation is weak. I am not worried about the present, but the future!"

Everyone at the meeting looked at each other, and they all understood what Li Qing was worried about about the future.

"Don't worry, Commander. The Central Plains is in chaos now. Our foundation is weak, but we are making progress every day. However, there are frequent wars in various parts of the Central Plains, and we are retreating every day. Between the ebb and flow, the gap between us is not the same. Big." Shang Haibo said proudly.

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, the man standing in front of us is so far-sighted and shocking!" Li Qing smiled.

Everyone was silent during the meeting. It was only after Fu Zhengqing was promoted to the prefect of Luzhou that he first learned of this secret hidden among the core executives of Dingzhou.

"Forget it, it's too early to say these things now, Mr. Shang, please stay a while, and let the others leave first!" Li Qing said.
